A/N:

I just wanted to clear up a few things. First of all, the story is complete. It ends as it picks up exactly where the episode left off. My goal was to only temporarily alter reality, not change everything that happened in season 9…although…that wouldn't be so bad. :) I should have mentioned this sooner, but I did research a while back to make this story as realistic as possible. I did in fact have a source that discussed the forms of violence and illegal activities in Leavenworth. So all of that stuff was true, at least, according to my source. I'd share the link, but I lost it. sheepish grin Sorry about that. I did take some creative liberties with some of the story, but most of it was based on accounts from prisoners. So, things like, how they lived, what the facility looked like, the ehem…prostitution in Leavenworth, what they ate, and the rehab program, were all stories and/or information that I found in my research. Yes, the story's a little upsetting. I hope it was at the very least thought provoking. Part of the reason I wrote it is because I feel that people need to be more aware of how the prison system needs reform.

Also, thanks for the formatting suggestions, the nice comments, and the encouragement to post more stuff. I'll get right on that.
